Sins Against The Sea. by Nina Mason. Paranormal Romance/Mythology ARC Review.


“If the merfolk were real, imagine how they might feel about the way we humans treat the ocean. That was my premise for Sins Against the Sea, a story deeply steeped in the mythology and folklore of the Scottish isles.”
--Nina Mason, author

Title: Sins Against the Sea
Author: Nina Mason
Genre: Paranormal Romance/Mythology
Heat Level: Moderately steamy
Format: Kindle and Paperback



Cordelia Parker, an oil company spokeswoman, has never believed in magic, despite her late mother’s fanciful stories. Then, during an oil spill in Scotland’s mysterious Minch, her reality is shattered when she stumbles upon a merman in a hidden cave. Even more shocking, she feels the same soul-level connection to him she felt for the ocean before it claimed both her parents.

A fish out of water in his sexist culture, Cuan feels a powerful attraction to Cordelia, but, because she knows what he is, he is duty-bound to kill her. If humankind discovers the Blue Men of the Minch are real, they will destroy them the way they destroy the ocean, whose abundance belongs at once to all and none. Thus, the only way he can have a life with her is to prove she is more than she appears, trust her with his secrets, and give up his undersea world.

With so many obstacles to overcome, they will need a miracle to be together…or maybe just a splash of ancient island magic.

          
Cordelia Parker is spokeswoman  for the oil company who paid for her to finish university after the death of her father. He died on board the company yacht.  After loosing both parents to drowning Corey has a real phobia about drowning herself. When a company tanker runs aground Corey must defend the indefensible.
Cuan is a warrior for his clan the Blue Men of the Minch, mermen who job it is to protect the sea and it's creatures. They are known to kill those who sin against the sea. Cuan is not really happy with his life in the clan or the customs they live by.
This story is a very different type of paranormal romance. Our hero is inquisitive , adventurous and surprisingly sexy. Our heroine is conflicted in her work and lonely. There is magic and danger all around. Also a few characters that like to tell rambling folk tales. A very interesting book.
